If all non-US-ccTLD registries (of which there are lots more than US-based) start beating ICANN with joint forces, I'm pretty sure that this will have an effect.
Has anyone tried serious reasoning with them about these delays???
I have raised the question to the ASO address council and ICANN coordination list.
I'll get back to the WG with the response and we can discuss a constructive approach to solve this.
I have been in touch with ICANN staff regarding this, and from what I understand there are no open requests with IANA from the two previously mentioned ccTLDs. I got yet another example by private email, but it was from 2 years back. There is however an open request to add IPv6 addres recors to the root-zone. On this matter ICANN have asked for technical advice from the root server advisory group and are currently awaiting this advice before proceeding. If you have problems with the response time from IANA in such matters please first contact IANA staff with the ticketing number in question. Eventaly the CcNSO will be the forum to address such issues, until then feel free to contact me to use whatever connections I have with ICANN to solve operational problems. I hope this helps, Best Regards, Hans Petter Holen
